One of the ultimate goals for a bankruptcy practitioner is to obtain a “fresh start” for their debtor clients through a bankruptcy discharge. Sometimes that fresh start is frustrated by creditors who continue to report negative entries to credit reporting agencies for debts already discharged in bankruptcy. The frustration is magnified when credit reporting agencies do not correct the error.
It is not uncommon that we see numerous lawsuits in our Bankruptcy and Bankruptcy Alternatives Practice. The bigger problems arise when Debtors ignore these lawsuits and they escalate. If a responsive pleading is not filed within 30 days, the creditor will request the Court to enter default, and your wages and assets will be at immediate risk.
Has a creditor ever added charges to your account, without your permission, or sent a bill for merchandise never order or services rendered? If so you need to know your rights under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (“EFTA”). If you suspect, there has been an unauthorized transactions on your bank account, you have rights, but the time frame is limited. Under the EFTA, you must write or call the bank immediately, but no later than (60) days from the date of the statement reflecting the unauthorized charge. Your bank has a duty to investigate and promptly correct any unauthorized transactions
HAVE YOU BEEN SUED BY A DEBT BUYER, NOT YOUR ORIGINAL CREDITOR? MAKE SURE THEY REALLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO COLLECT THE DEBT AGAINST YOU In the context of debt collection and debt collection lawsuits, a “debt buyer,” sometimes also referred to as a “bottom feeder,” can be a company, individual, or even a law firm who buys charged-off debt. Usually, these accounts are purchased by junk debt buyer for pennies on the dollar from the original lender who wrote off the debt as a loss and tax deduction. The debt buyer then turns around and attempts to collect
The short answer is community debt will be discharged but not the non-filing spouse’s individual debt. Yet, it is not uncommon for only one spouse to file for Bankruptcy Protection. This frequently takes place where the other spouse has very little debt, is simply an authorized user on the account, or only has community debt. For instance, if $45,000 is owed by one spouse and only $3,000 by the other, it often makes sense only for one of the spouses to file and the other to keep the $3,000 in debt for Credit Reasons. The Bankruptcy Estate of an individual

Once discharge is entered and you are on your way to starting your financial fresh start, you need to regularly check your credit report. In a recent report, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) found that one in four people who participated in the survey spotted errors on their credit reports that might adversely affect their credit scores. A credit report includes information about where you live, how you pay your bills, and whether you’ve been sued or arrested or have filed for bankruptcy. Creditors, insurers, employers and others use that information when they consider your applications for credit, insurance, employment, or
Did you Know your Personal Financial Information Can Be Sold by Credit Reporting Agencies? Most consumers have no idea that the major credit reporting agencies, Equifax, Experian, Innvois and Transunion, are selling and sharing their private financial information. Each of the major credit bureaus has over 200 million files. Credit reporting agencies can sell your personal information (including unlisted phone number, credit score, current debt, debt history, property information, age, gender and estimated income) to debt collectors and financial services companies. This make it easier for them to find out more about you, your spending habits and credit worthiness. This
